Second Trip [VIDEO]

[notsheepish]

Hey, guys. Ruby again.

[She gives a quick wave and a smile, though honestly both look a little forced...]

So I have a question! Is there, like, a special gym somewhere for everybody who has super-strength now? Or maybe a track club or something for people that can outrun cars? Are those things that actually exist here, or what? Because if not, maybe someone should get on that. And if so, can anybody fill me in a little? I'd really appreciate it.

I run every morning, if you want to get in on that.

[ Said like, why wouldn't you? ]

video

[notsheepish]

Maybe? I'm kinda curious if there's anything actually, like, formal, you know?

[fayzedandconfused]

Well, I tried to get something started but everyone only wanted to talk about school.

[notsheepish]

What does that have to do with running?

[dualismum]

I'm not sure if there is a place for that, but I usually do my own training. I run everyday, I spar with others that have superstrength, things like that.

video

[notsheepish]

Yeah, I'm sure a lot of other people do too. But nobody's tried to actually set up a place for that? It kinda sounds like a no-brainer here, doesn't it?

[dualismum]

It is a good idea, but maybe it'd take a lot of dollars for something like that given how varied how powers are.

But maybe an imPort company is willing to give it a go?

[notsheepish]

Well, don't look at me. I was already broke before my bank account got left in another dimension.

I know of plenty of gyms, just not ones that cater specifically to supers. It's a gap in the market, but there's not exactly many that fill those requirements. Maybe you just need to bench press cars or some crap.

video

[notsheepish]

Okay, first off, that sounds like it'd be really hard? Even with super-strength? Like you'd have to figure out how to balance the car and avoid breaking anything. It'd be a whole--

Anyway, I'm honestly more interested in the people part of it than finding something heavy enough to challenge me or whatever. I like running and stuff. I've just... never really met anybody who could keep up with me. Not in a long time at least.

Can you outrun a car? Wanna walk my dogs instead?

video

[notsheepish]

[For some reason, Ruby actually looks a little embarrassed.]

Um, for a little while maybe? And the second one depends. How cute are they?

video

[knifecollecting]

That's still impressive. [Jo laughs quietly.]

As for cute, I don't know. Cap's a German Shepherd they aren't really supposed to be cute.

[foreverbouncing]

How strong is 'super strong'? Like, Superman superstrong or like, 'really strong human but not like, super strong' superstrong?

[Sorry she's a superhero nerd.]

video

[notsheepish]

[Hang on, give her a second to parse all that out.]

...somewhere between those, I guess?

video

[foreverbouncing]

[Yeah. Sorry. Teenagers.]

Oh cool. So can you pick up say...a car?

[akas]

If you find something about this, let me know. Suppose I should flex my muscles now and then.

video

[notsheepish]

Yeah, sure. I'm not hearing much just yet, but I'll keep looking into it.

[akas]

[ Ugh, video. Jessica is sitting on a couch, looking disheveled. What's new. ]

If everything fails, you can start your own gym or something.

[damselunimpressed]

Not only that, do they make boots for people with super strength? [ Maria's expression looks rather resigned. ] I go through through so many pairs...

[notsheepish]

See? There's this whole market being ignored.

[damselunimpressed]

Clearly. Maybe we can petition and bring interest to the local government. I'm... not exactly sure how that works here, though—Are the leaders amenable to requests from their, uhm, citizens?

Running? Really?

video

[notsheepish]

Why are so many people hating on running? What did running ever do to you?

video

[doubleblind]

You really telling me you have no traumatic running memories? None at all?
